Google Slides: Comic Book

On this site, we have challenges that focus on creating comics as a means of demonstrating knowledge, but not a full comic book, which is entirely possible to create using Google Slides!!

For this badge, the presentation MUST be created in Google Slides. Power Point presentations that have been uploaded to Google will NOT be accepted.

This amazing creation and template below is courtesy of Ryan O'Donnell.

It is ideally suited for collaborative projects among your students. Keep in mind that even though you're working from a template, the individual slides can be copied to make the publication longer allowing for additional pages to be written.

Cropping Images for the Comic Book.webm

Here's a quick video on how to crop your images to fit some of the placeholder boxes.

Those boxes on the pages are placeholders. You can't actually "insert" images into them. Instead, use those boxes to help guide the placement and cropping of your images for the comic book page.
